#413 - Fast but still eat, to lose weight and live longer - Nutritional Physiologist Inge Lindseth Happy Habit Podcast
-
- Health & Fitness
Fasting as we know is doing without food for a period of time. When we fast we stress the body,and the body responds to this fasting by adapting so its prepared for the next time there is a shortage of food. This is how our ancestors lived, given they could go many hours even days without food. And scientists like Prof Valter Longo who I've spoken to before, believe that we can tap into the body's ability to adapt to stresses like a lack of food and reap many biological benefits, from weightloss, to enhanced metabolic function and even to living a longer life.
To explore this subject further I speak with nutritional physiologist Inge Lindseth about how Valter Longo and others have developed a fasting mimicking diet, which involves cyclical fasting without a complete abstinence of food, yet still allowing for the benefits of fasting to occur.
What foods can we eat oon this fasting mimicking diet and how often, plus for how long does the fasting last.
We ask what role does our gut bacteria play in respect of our weight, our metabolic health and how is its diversity is affected by our diet.
We also ask whether we should consume probiotics and if so in what form, supplements or simply food?
Fasting is a form of bodily stress that if used correctly scientists believe can reap many benefits, however, its prudent to say that adoption of a dietary regime that involves fasting absolutely must be done under the supervision of a professional.
